I have some notes that are on the upper portion of a piano system, like this:
<< { <ees' bes g>8 g,_\<( bes ees g bes \times 3/2 { ees8[ f] } \times 3/2 { g[ bes]\! } \times 3/2 { bes8 aes } \times 3/2 { g f } ees2. d2.^\markup{ \italic \bold "tr." } \grace { c16[ d] } ees2.) } \\ { s2. ees4. des c4. ces <bes g>2. bes2. g8 ees bes g' ees bes } >> It's in 12/8 time and the notes are in relative mode. The first E-flat is the one just above middle C. The problem I'm having is that when I put the slur on this section as shown above, the trill markup gets placed way out of the way above the slur. There's plenty of room for the trill below the slur and above the note. I've tried using \raise and \lower to no avail. Any lilypond gurus out there have any tips for me? By the way, it's been a couple of years since I used lilypond last. I must say it keeps getting better and better. The placement is usually very good without my having to do anything. I'm also curious to know if anyone is working on a jazz font for lilypond. I raised this issue on the mailing list a few years ago but I'm not sure what's happened since then.
